Mac, given to me for my 11th Birthday, 1955
This is “Mac” – given to me by mum and dad on my 11th Birthday in 1955. He was a very much a farm Westie, and I only saw him in school holidays and days back home because I was at boarding school. He was an independent character, and really became dad’s dog if he was anyone’s dog. I used to love to see him biting my farmer dad’s boots as dad tried in vain to kick him off, when dad came back fro anywhere. Every night at school I prayed for my family and this always included Mac, Jock and Frosty. Jock was a lovely dog too, and I learnt to ride on Frosty, our New Forest Pony.
